$30.00

From Krishna Niyogi, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Stanford, September 1994

Phenotype: requires arginine

This is Niyogi’s strain KNX31-2. It was derived from a cross of CC-2678 nit1-305 cw15 x CC-424 cw15 arg2, followed by backcrosses to wild type (CC-124 and CC-125). It has the wild type alleles at the NIT2 (inferred because it can grow on nitrite medium) and CW15 loci. The nit1 allele could be either nit1-305 from CC-2678 or nit1-137, which is carried by CC-424, CC-124, and CC-125. (Statistically the latter is more likely, but it hasn’t been tested).
